San Francisco Plane Crash

The Asiana Airlines jet that crashed while landing at San Francisco International Airport, killing two Chinese teenagers and injuring 182 others, was descending at a dangerously slow speed and pilots apparently ran out of time to correct their approach, investigators said Sunday.

Samsung Exec Tweets Early Accounts From SF Crash

By Don Clark

A Samsung Electronics executive became a real-time newsman of sorts Saturday, tweeting some of the first information about the crash of the Asiana Airlines flight from Seoul at San Francisco International Airport.

“I just crash landed at SFO. Tail ripped off. Most everyone seems fine. I’m ok. Surreal…” read the first tweet from David Eun, who also posted pictures of the smoking wreckage that he just walked away from.

Eun, who is well-known in Silicon Valley technology circles, provided more color on the aftermath from a survivor’s standpoint in posts on Path.

“Fire and rescue people all over the place. They’re evacuating the injured. Haven’t felt this way since 9/11. Trying to help people stay calm. Deep breaths…”

Initial reports said the Boeing 777 appeared to clip the rocky edge of the runway, tumbled and caught fire. The plane was believed to have around three hundred people aboard. San Francisco fire officials said at least two people died, while San Francisco General Hospital said ten people had been admitted with critical injuries.

Eun said a majority of passengers on the plane appeared to have escaped serious injury. He kept posting as he entered airport facilities, trying to process what had happened to him.

“At Terminal now. Very grateful I’m ok. Thanks for all your best wishes but please do not call me right now. Will keep everyone posted.”

Another much-forwarded post following the event came from Sheryl Sandberg, the second in command at Facebook–who was not on the plane that crashed but might have been, along with her family and three colleagues.

“Taking a minute to be thankful and explain what happened,” she wrote on Facebook.

“We switched to United so we could use miles for my family’s tickets. Our flight was scheduled to come in at the same time, but we were early and landed about 20 minutes before the crash…

“Thank you to everyone who is reaching out – and sorry if we worried anyone,” she added. “Serious moment to give thanks.”
